the schedule that i kept when i was on hem/onc
6:30 am - check pts labs
-check pts charts for any new updates
7:00am - go to pts rooms, record vitals and ins and outs and wt, go in and do a brief physical exam and ask the pt/parent how the night was, write the SOAP note.
8:00am- to about 8:30 morning report, very helpful
8:30-9:30 help the resident and intern out with anything that may need to be done, up date "the list" - which is very helpful to the resident/intern, or finish your notes.
9:30 rounds, present your pt. your attending will change weekly. a few of them will want a presentation on a topic sometime during the week so be on the look out. also read up on any interesting pts say like a hemophilac comes in... knowing the clotting cascade helps. (pay attention to all pts so you can update "the list")
10:30 don't forget to go to sickle cell clinic on the days that you have it
12 lecture/lunch
afternoons pretty much help the resident/intern out with whatever needs to be done. pretty much try to hang with the team. prepare for any pts that might be admitted. you can visit your pts and see how they are doing. don't forget to go to general teaching sesssions and things scheduled.
"check out" is at 4:30 but i usually didn't get out until 5-6ish. the new admits always happen to come right at 4-4:30. go figure.
i usually had 2 pts daily. you can ask your intern how many he/she thinks you should carry.
when on call try and hang with the general team so you can get some general peds exposure while on in pt.
if you've got inpt stuff last i recommend trying to get more studying done in outpt cuase you never know how the pt load will be on inpt service.
